It's every young lads' dream to score a goal on the hallowed turf of their beloved football club.
Nine-year-old Everton fan George Shaw realised this dream when he stuck one in the back of the net at Goodison Park at half time during the game against Swansea.
George, who has cerebral palsy, dribbled the ball up to the goal mouth and banged it in in front of thousands of Toffees fans.
If this wasn't brilliant enough for the young lad, Everton fans ensured it will be a moment he never forgets after voting in their droves for him in the club's January Goal of the Month competition.
Now George has beaten both Ross Barkley and Aaron Lennon to the accolade with an incredible 86% of the votes.

"I never thought I would win, I thought I’d come close because of all the support I’ve had but I can’t believe I won, he said.
"Thank you to everyone who voted for me.”
Everton have now invited George to an awards evening in May.
He added: “I can’t wait for the end of season awards now, it will be great.”
George got the chance to meet his hero Gerard Deulofeu at the game after his dad posted this inspiring video on Twitter...
